I've been thinking about the pieces in the Zombies' repertoire that start with a falling fifth (because I recently learned that "Indication" also starts with a falling fifth). I wrote
a post about this a few months ago, but in it, I sort of imply that "I'll Call You Mine" is a Rod Argent song. That's not the case; it was written by Chris White. (Other songs that start with a falling fifth are "She's Not There" and "Hung up on a Dream.")
Still, it illustrates that their writing was pretty similar at times. (Along with starting pieces with falling fifths, they both also used chromatic bass parts and really interesting relationships between bass parts and chords.)
